could try grabbing the J# core assemblies + J# Browser controls assemblies
from .NET framework and try to use them (from C# or whatever), but not sure
if they're using pure managed code, or if they're installed in the system in
precompiled form (for x86) or something. Not exactly legal though, even if
it might work...

btw, on Windows with .NET Runtime WinForm controls can behave as ActiveX
controls (using .NET Runtime's COM Callable Wrapper [CCW]), so they can run
inside Internet Explorer too, but I think there's also a .NET Runtime
ActiveX control or something for running WinForm controls inside IE (it acts
as a container for the WinForm control, so that IE doesn't need to know what
.NET is). Maybe they have that as plugin too for Netscape Navigator, not
sure though

interesting technology is also .NET2.0's ClickOnce Deployment etc. (for
autodownloading/autoupdating and launching applications using a URL [similar
to Java WebStart in some concepts I suppose])
